# PR feedback

> Otto responds to review comments on the pull requests it opens.

Otto doesn't stop at opening a pull request. When someone leaves a review comment on a PR Otto opened, Otto:

1. **Reads the feedback** and works out the question or request.
2. **Makes the change**, or adds a clarifying code comment.
3. **Pushes a new commit** to the PR.
4. **Replies inline** with what changed and why.

## Example

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/ebsc-dev-1a2a615b/krYJi7Ozpo3lt2Xq/images/pr-feedback-example.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=krYJi7Ozpo3lt2Xq&q=85&s=a743a2ceb2d976708840c54a7c494c54" alt="Otto replying to a review comment on its own pull request" width="2874" height="1802" data-path="images/pr-feedback-example.png" />

Here a reviewer asked whether execution needed an early return. Otto explained why execution must continue (to set flags and store IDs), then added a code comment in a follow-up commit to prevent future confusion.

## What Otto handles well

* **Questions about logic:** why something was implemented a certain way, with references to the code.
* **Code improvements:** null checks, validation, early returns, extracting helpers, off-by-one fixes.
* **Conventions:** naming, types, and patterns used elsewhere in the codebase.
* **Bug fixes:** edge cases, wrong error codes, race conditions.

## Getting the best results

* **Be specific.** "Validate the email with the existing `isEmail` helper" beats "add validation".
* **One topic per comment.** Split complex feedback into separate comments.
* **Use suggestions.** Otto applies GitHub suggested changes directly.
* **Ask why.** Otto can explain its choices.

For large changes, such as an architectural refactor or a new feature, create a new ticket instead. The [lifecycle](/automation/lifecycle) handles substantial work better than review comments.
